Woman attacked by Jaguar while 'trying to take selfie' at Arizona zoo

The video is quite graphic and not for the faint-hearted.

Glad the Jaguar isn't gonna be put down for this :clap1:

A jaguar attacked a woman at a zoo in Arizona, leaving her with injuries that required medical attention, the fire department said.

The attack happened Saturday evening at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park, said Shawn Gilleland of the Rural Metro Fire Department.
The guest crossed over the barrier to get a photo and was attacked by a female jaguar, the zoo tweeted, citing witness accounts.

"The visitor sustained non-life threatening injuries to their arm from one of our female jaguars. At the request of the family, paramedics were called. At no time was the animal out of its enclosure ... please understand why barriers are put in place. Sending prayers to the family tonight," the zoo tweeted.
The woman, who is in her 30s, was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive, CNN affiliate KPHO reported. Citing the fire department, the affiliate said the woman was trying to take a selfie near the fence of the jaguar enclosure when the animal reached out and attacked her arm.

Adam Wilkerson said he was at the zoo with his family when someone came running around the corner yelling for help.
"Without thinking, I had no idea what I was going to see, I just ran over there," he said. "I saw the other girl up against the fence with her arm caught in the jaguar's claws."
Wilkerson said he was standing behind the woman, but didn't want to pull her off. "I could see the claws in her actual flesh," he said.
In an effort to distract the jaguar, Wilkerson said, his mother ran up behind him and shoved her water bottle through the cage. The bottle distracted the jaguar, and it let go of the victim.
"When my mom put the water bottle through the gate, the jaguar let go of the girl. And we pulled the girl back and she collapsed," he said.
Wilkerson did not see the actual attack and could not comment on how the victim got so close to the animal.
There were no employees nearby during the incident, Wilkerson said.
Wildlife World Zoo tweeted on Saturday that the jaguar would not be put down as a result of the incident.

"We can promise you nothing will happen to our jaguar," the zoo said. "She's a wild animal and there were proper barriers in place to keep our guests safe -- not a wild animal's fault when barriers are crossed. Still sending prayers to her and her family."

Are people actually that stupid

Pure intolerance and vicious violence by the Jaguar. She only wanted a selfie.

What's the World coming to, when you can't even take a photo without being violently attacked?

Sure

Glad they won't be putting the Jaguar down. I mean clearly a Jaguar is going to attack, that's why it's in an enclosure with barriers and is a dangerous animal......

Social media is dangerous(when used by f’king idiots).

People will do anything for a selfie these days.
Tidal waves,walking backwards off cliffs,tornadoes.

Nobody else actually cares what you’re doing in your day to day life.Don’t risk your life to try and impress them.

Yes some fools live is Disney type world

No sympathy at all for this ****ing idiot. Of course the barriers are in place for a reason and yes, oddly enough wild animals tend to not be all cuddly and friendly, how shocking!

This!

Yeah so many are way OTT with selfies when its probably likely that everyone on theuir FB/instagram/whatever is sick of seeing duckfaced poses in random places and has probably hidden their posts, or just scroll past them. I don't think anyone admires others selfies te way they think you do :laugh:

I've never taken a selfie. I have been in a selfie that somebody else has taken. I rather thought that this fad would be over by now.

I've just taken my first selfie. Don't see what all the fuss is about.

Maybe it's more exciting taking one at some sort of landmark, rather than my front room.

glad the jaguar isn't gonna be put down

stupid woman, she should be very Lucky she only has non-life threatening injuries, and hopefully this is a lesson for her and others like her not to be this stupid anymore

It certainly is. You should take one at your next “Alf on tour” location

That should do the trick

Glad to see she's acknowledging that she was in the wrong and isn't taking this further

Hope she makes a speedy recovery
